Cultivate a Relationship vs. a Religious Driven Home: You want to cultivate a relationship-driven home versus a religious home. I think we would all agree that the Christian faith is all about a real ongoing relationship with Jesus.

This starts with our own relationship with Jesus which influences our relationship with our children too.

“Preserving Your Children's Dreams During End Times”: We address the current war Israel is facing as an example of how and when to communicate with your children about the challenges happening in the world. We give several warnings to parents about what they say in front of their children. While we believe in equipping through knowledge of the world at the right age, it must be seasoned with even more saturation of God’s truth in the bible. We must tip the scale towards the good news that gives eternal hope over the challenging news of the world; after all, I’m sure you are hopeful your children have children right? We are concerned that this next generation of believers won’t want to bring children into this world due to an imbalance of what parents are focusing on in their conversations while they are young.

“How to Influence The Influencers In Your Children's Lives”: Other influences can be a huge help in equipping your children, but we must never assume that that’s the case. Whoever you point your children to to learn from; whether coaches, friends, youth pastors, teachers, or relatives, it’s important to establish a relationship with them and let them know a few important things we discuss in this episode. Unfortunately, too often, these temporary influences in children's lives fail to encourage life-long influence by not pointing children back to communicating with their parents as well.
